Although, I think the light cake would have suited the milk chocolate chips which were listed in the ingredients.
I also rolled the balls in chocolate sprinkles whilst they were moist, and the looked amazing.
I must admit I was in 2 minds about these .....BUT everybody else in the family loved these! I would love to try this using leftover Christmas pudding or a dark fruit cake.
These were very rich and decadent and I will be trying these again with a dark cake or pudding....perhaps a dash of brandy! lol
Everybody who tried these loved them..... and they are so easy to make!
Note: I found using wet hands was so much easier to roll the balls.View More

The aren't the prettiest of desserts once they're cut because the filling isn't solid (and let's be real here, cooked rhubarb isn't the cutest fruit ever either, lol), but looks aren't everything. So glad I tucked away some of the spring rhubarb this year! I didn't have as much rhubarb in the freezer as I thought, so I just improvised and rounded out the 5 cups with some chopped fresh strawberries. I'd still like to try them sometime with just rhubarb, since the sugar amount in the filling is based on using super-tart rhubarb alone and not mixed with sweeter fruit, but the strawberries were still very good here. These are rich, so they should be cut in smaller pieces for serving. The fluffy topping was perfect on these, and I loved the crust too -- it became pleasantly chewy once the bars were fully chilled. So glad I squeezed this last recipe in for this region! Thanks for posting this, Twissis! Made for CQ 2017 Scandinavia by a fellow Happy Camper :)View More

I set the extras aside, figuring that I would just give them a dusting of powdered sugar once they were fully cooled off. The next day, I added the powdered sugar and tried one. The sugar and the overnight resting did a world of good to these! The pastry softened up a bit, and the powdered sugar totally counterbalanced any saltiness that the dough had. Anything guava is usually a hit with me anyway, but I definitely recommend making these the day before you need them, and dusting them with powdered sugar before serving to get the best results. Even after 3 or 4 days, the leftovers are just as good as they are on day 2 (which is a good thing, since 2 dozen empanadas is quite a bit for only 2 people). I brought some to work, and hubby gave a few to his employee, and everyone who tried them gave them thumbs-up. Couple things to note, I ended up needing the full 8oz package of cream cheese and roughly 12 oz of guava paste to fill the entire batch of empanadas, and I needed to reroll the dough scraps twice in order to get the full 2 dozen (if I wasn't so lazy at the end, I probably could have rolled the remaining scraps one more time and got another one or two empanadas from it, but nope, lol).

We had an apple pie earlier and just didn't want apple again so I used pears.
Either way, it was amazingly good. The topping and the icing, were just amazing. This is something that we will be eating again. I think I may make more icing though, just to get more icing. :-)View More
